It was the abundance of quality superhero films out there in the world that first gave us the idea to put together Dynamic Duos, a monthly film series dedicated to superhero films. Teaming up with our friends at Ain’t It Cool News and 8th Dimension Comics & Games, every month we plan to curate a double feature of superhero flicks. That’s double the heroes, double the villains and double the two-fisted justice. 

On October 6, we will be screening the film DANCE WITH THE ONE, a movie created through the University of Texas Film Institute. A Texas film made by Texans for Texans, the movie is a tense thriller about a teenager who finds his family targeted by a drug-runner. 

It was recently announced that Stephen King is hard at work on a new sequel to THE SHINING, his seminal novel about a young boy with psychic powers. While we’re not sure the world needs DR. SLEEP, King’s proposed novel about Danny Torrance fighting psychic vampires, all the talk about THE SHINING has us officially excited about this weekend’s screening of THE SHINING.

We love, love, love that THUNDER SOUL. You will too.

This October we're bringing back the crowd-pleasing GREASE Sing-Along for two more screenings at our Houston-area Alamo Drafthouse theaters.
